Awesome area of "REAL HAWAI'I". Clean, comfortable, excellent Value!

Clean, very comfortable, awesome organic fruit, great location. Cell service! And drinkable municipal water (not like many places in the area which use rainwater from the roof). Amazing views of hot lava on the hillside. Wednesday market with live music at Uncle's Awa Bar a short walk from Gay Hawaii B&B is a must. Clothing optional beach is fun!

Highgly recommend Gay Hawaii B&B & Kalapana, Hawaii

Very comfortable, clean, and great value! The Kalapana area is like 'real' Hawaii. Wed and Fri nights at Uncle's Awa Bar are amazing. Several hundred people, live music (including Hawaiian slack key), local food vendors, brewed Kambucha (try the Lavander Elderberry). Hot food varieties from Thai, vegan, BBQ ribs, wood fire pizza, local baked goods, banana pie, green papaya salad. Incredible selection. Very festival like atmosphere. Beer, wine, jello shooters, and Awa (muscle relaxant from pounded plant root) available. Try the Awa. Not fermented and doesn't make you 'drunk' but relaxes your muscles. Hard to describe, but a must do experience. Walk from Gay Hawaii B&B (parking is scarce and some parking is on the lava flow which covered the bay in 1991). The lava wasn't flowing, but locals said that when it is flowing down the hillside and into the ocean you can see the red glow from Gay Hawaii B&B. Will definitely come back to see the lava sometime. Loved the free wifi and having cell phone service at Gay Hawaii B&B. (Many places in the area do NOT have cell service). Kehena Beach with clothing optional sunning and dolphins, the warm ponds, and the painted church which is walking distance from GHBB, were all highlights. And the fresh organic avocados, lemons, and lilikoi from the property had amazing flavor even for someone like me who isn't particularly a health nut. Clean air, fresh organic fruit, Hawaii culture & music, clean, comfortable bed, great outdoor shower, and the most amazing warm water massage (AquaNirvana). Will definitely be back to Gay Hawaii B&B!!!
